Died OF apparent murder is murder. Died IN apparent murder is an explanation.
I would also say that when 100 out of 100 times a Putin opponents are murdered when falling out of a window, saying the next one was apparently murdered is not ignoring the standards of journalism, as if the Press still has standards.
